In the little clip, Sharma can be seen working on his defensive technique. Soon after sharing the video, the comment section was filled with best wishes for the stand-in India captain. However, one reply that grabbed everyone’s attention was of the India wrist spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal.

It is learnt that Indian players will leave for Dubai to feature in the Asia Cup in two batches. While the likes of Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Akshar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed will depart on September 13, the remaining six players – Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik Jasprit Bumrah and Shardul Thakur – will leave on September 16.

It is worth mentioning here that the likes of Dhawan, Rahul, Pandya, Karthik, Bumrah and Thakur were part of the just-concluded Test series against England.

The 2018 Asia Cup will see six teams being divided into two groups. While India, Pakistan and Hong Kong are slotted in Group A, the Group B comprised of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
